Know Your Mushrooms!

A warning against mistaking toadstools for mushrooms was Issued this week by the County Health Department. This is the season of the year when toad stools are very prolific.

Lovers of mushrooms should i V cxcrctse particular care that they

do not gather some of the more than 100 varieties of toadstools that grow abundantly aftei heavy rains, health authorities warned. Every year toadstool poisonings occul among persons who claim to. have gathered mushrooms for many years and who profess they can differenti­ ate between toadstools ant) mushrooms. Some of the varie­ ties are so near alike that It Is almost Impossible to determine which is which with the naked eye.

Shipbuilding and what It means to the workers, busi­ nesses, professions and commun­ ities of Southern California will be the subject of William A Simpson, a director of the I/os Angeles Shipbuilding and Dry dock Company, before the Los Angeles Advertising Club nexi Tuesday noon, Jan. 28, in the Blltmore Ballroom.

Simpson, president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce n .1933,'now president of the

William Simpson Construction Company, has long been prom­ inent as a construction leader. He will give latest! ramifications of the booming national defense industry which already has a backlog of more than $200,000,- 000.

That means $80,000,000 in pay rolls for workers In the ship­ yards. It means direct profits to more than 80 different types of subsidiary Industries which man ufacture accessories to ships. It means 86 percent of the backlog total goes Into the coffers of labor.

And, as Simpson will show, In­ evitable new Federal naval and merchant marine orders together with possible British orders to ehabilltate the torpedo battered

merchant marine may send outhland backlogs over the bil- ion dollar, mark.

With contractors, builders, teel men, financiers, machine

makers, Industrialists, civic of- Iclals and others to attend the leetlng, Southern California's hlpbullding leaders have been nvlted to sit at the head table.

Because a capacity audience of hose Interested in the new civic nterprise of shipbuilding is ex-

Tax Delinquency Payments Gain

Increase in payments on tax- delinquent property for Decem­ ber was reported to the board of supervisors this week by County Tax Collector- H. L. By- ram, as compared with the simi­ lar month of 1939. ; - Payments last month totaled $479,076, as against only $474,- 562 for December Of 1939.

Collections of delinquent taxes for the first half of the present fiscal year arc below what they were for the first half of the previous year, however. For the last six months, only $3,020,000

ras paid In, as compared with $4,099,000 for the last half of 1939.

The decrease was due to the old 10-payment plan still being n effect for part of the six-

month period a year ago.Few persons who undertake to

redeem their property on the partial-payment plan default In their payments, apparently be­ lieving that their real estate is a good investment, according to county records.

About 18,000 parcels are being redeemed under the discontinued 10-payment plan, or the current 6-payment plan, Byram esti­ mated.
